Scott Black ’10 was elected to the Bloomington City Council.  Black, who is currently serving his second term on the McLean County Board, is looking forward to serving the voters on the west-side of Bloomington.  “I’m really excited to get involved,” said Black. “I’m really excited to take on the challenges that the west-side has. I’m open and accessible. I want to hear from residents. I want to hear from constituents. I want to hear what they have to say and any ideas they have to solve our challenges.”

He also is excited about beginning his term with (Tari) Renner at the top.  “It’s going to be great,” he added. ” think with Tari’s leadership we’re going to be able to get things done on the Council. I’m ready to go. Being on the County Board for three years, I have excessive local government experience. I know how to make things happen and Bloomington definitely needs that.”

Black had 60 percent of the vote (447) to defeat Bernie Uszcienski (179) and Ryan Fiala (117).
